Can you please clarify how I know whether I need the 9 volt or 12 volt charger? Is it based on the pump or my car? Thank you!

The pump. It states the appropriate voltage for your pump in manual. I was going to get 12 V but my pump only works with 9V charger. Glad I checked. Hope this helps.

I Bought the 9v for my pump in style advanced pump and it works in both my aubaru outback and a Toyota tundra 2000 truck

I believe it is pump specific but if you go on the medela website and choose your pump it shows you all the compatible accessories.

wjacb seems very confused.- A 12 volt charger on a 36 volt system will get you nowhere... As to the charging time, it depends on output of charger in A/h and capacity of batteries.- Hope you're having fun... the General...

All vehicles run 12V systems these days, the charger will convert the voltge to 9V. The great thing about this charger is that it is made by Medella, so it'll work great with the Medella pump. My wife's worked great!

The unit has two spring jumper style clips to attach to a car battery. I think the instructions say not to use an adapter, however, 12 volts is 12 volts. I looked all over for a quality pump that could run off battery or 110 vac but to no avail so I settled for the best battery unit I could get which was this one from Viair.

There are several 12 VDC adapters you can buy. Just make sure it is rated to match or exceed the Amps needed by the pump. I returned my 12 VDC (car-only) pump and bought the wall-powered one instead; seeing that I could more easily get a DC/AC inverter, should I need it while camping, but my primary use will be indoors.

Not sure what model that is, however my pump called for a 9VDC and this 12 worked just fine

Pump specs are 500mA@12V. Any of the small automotive solar chargers should work but, like someone else said, you should charge a battery then run the pump off the battery. DC watt calculation; P(W) = I(A) × V(V), so 6 = .5 * 12

That is for specific motors only. Car and trucks don't use that one. It is a great charger!

yup, if you need one at 10V check out car chargers for breast feeding pumps I got one that puts out 9V and it works great with the base for my radio. this one put out too much voltage for my base and didn't work.

I think that you are talking about 2 batteries (each 6 volts) - This charger I bought was to charge 6-6 volt batteries for my golf cart which is why the advertisement states 36 volts. If it is for a single battery yes, a 36 volt charger could hurt-damage or destroy a 12 volt battery

12 volt. This is designed to be used in an automobile with a 12volt charging system

you will need an electric pump. typically people buy one that plugs into their car or truck's adapter.

I would think that 12volts would cause the 6v motor to over spin and decrease it's life significantly. 12v will cause it to turn, very fast, but probably not for long. If you hooked 2 6v batteries together. .. charger positive to battery A positive, battery A negative to battery B positive, battery B negative to the charger negative for a 12v system. You can hook your 6v motor to ONE of the 6v batteries to run your pump. It may shorten the life of the battery. The solar panel will not run the motor without a battery, and probably will not keep the battery charged up if the motor runs constantly.

It is only the motor. Your pump should attach to the new motor. Make sure you order new seals. You probably already know this but be sure you have your voltage switch on the same current as your old pump. Most are 120 but some are 220. Its very clearly marked.

Car chargers are designed for 12 volt systems. This should work fine provided the connecting port for the device matches.

I plugged this into a 12V (3-cell LiPo) battery and measured current draw. It was taking 75Watts at 11.7Volts, so about 6.4Amps. In a running car the air pump will draw slightly more current, but not enough to overwhelm your charging system. If you have a smaller engine just turn off the headlights, it'll be fine.

I purchased the car new for a gift and it came with a charger. I do not know what kind. I am so sorry I can't help you.
